Garfield: Homecoming #1

The Fat Cat returns in this all-new four issue limited series, where Garfield explores what lifefs like outside of the friendly confines of Jon's house. Feeling mistreated and unappreciated by Jon, Garfield embarks on a journey for a new home. Along the way, Garfield meets up with a clown who works in an old-timey travelling circus. Convinced that this is the place for him, Garfield becomes part of the act. Wait. What is that cannon for? Writer Scott Nickel (Garfield: His 9 Lives) will pair with a different artist each issue, and Sara Talmadge (Steven Universe) takes us through this wild ride in the circus!

Much to Talmadge's credit, the art style is so fun and expressive that it is very easy to get sucked into the events of the story, each scowl and smile conveys so much that I often find lacking from some books, be they for younger or mature audiences. Though a humble package, there is a lot to enjoy inHomecoming, and I can safely recommend this to anyone out there who hates Mondays. Read Full Review

Garfield: Homecoming #1 is a sadly dull comic. The jokes dont land, the plot is cliched and unengaging, and the art is the only part that really works. This is a comic intended for kids, but I dont think many children would get much out of it either. Consequently, I cant recommend this book. Give it a pass. Read Full Review
